Domaine François Mikulski - Bourgogne Côte d'Or - Pinot Noir - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

From two parcels of old vines farmed organically across 1.30 ha, the 2021 red Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir is a small production that brilliantly showcases the domain's style. This opening cuvée, with notes of morello cherry and plum, red fruit jelly, flowers, and sweet spices, is invitingly soft and delicate. The broad, silky, and tender structure makes for an easily accessible wine, with discreet tannins supporting a good, fresh fruit character tinged with spices. The energetic and tense finish rounds off the ensemble confidently. A very pretty wine to enjoy with parsley ham or roasted chicken.
